Leverage. Something that is hard for you to comprehend.Where are they going to walk to, some other job that's so much better than the one they've got driving for a contractor? If so, why would they wait until peak to take it?
That's the second funniest one tonight.off your meds tonight?
Just tonight?off your meds tonight?

I have a feeling most driver’s wives would smack them upside the head if they quit their job right before Christmas.Wanna take a guess at how much stuff at FedEx Express is in writing? (most of it) .
Wanna take a guess at how much of it changes? (most of it)
Wanna take a guess at how much of it a lawyer would actually file suit over? (practically none of it)
How hard is it to replace the average Ground driver? Is the average Ground driver dumb enough to walk off his job right before Christmas?
Well you hope anyway.I have a feeling most driver’s wives would smack them upside the head if they quit their job right before Christmas.
This is coming from a current business owner, former X contractor(employee).
IF YOU VALUE YOURSELF AND ARE A GOOD WORKER DO THIS....
1. Get all your coworker drivers together 2 weeks before thanksgiving to discuss how to get a raise.
2. All of you submit a 2 weeks notice.
3. Tell the maroon contractor you got a better opportunity.
The contractor will try to do the following:
1. Give you bonuses based on performance and attendance.
2.PROMISE you a raise and paid time off.
Do not fall for it. Demand a higher wage. Whatever you want. Be sure to get it in writing. Get a gaurenteed bonus based only on attendance.
You will get more than what you had. The contractor has no choice.
Now there will be some contractors on here that will lie, and claim they will fire you or hire someone else. IF YOU ARE A GOOD WORKER, THE CONTRACTOR WILL BE BLOWING YOUR PHONE UP BEGGING YOU. To be honest you can be an average driver and still get practically everything you want.
Pass this on to your buddies. If you feel you are not making enough, espeacially with no benefits, you have nothing to lose.
Cut and post this to Facebook, social media, pass it on.
Just look at other posts on this forum, contractors a making a LOT of $$$$$$ during peak, get what you deserve.
All you drivers keep in mind that Fedex GT is probably a contractor. I have been transparent and disclosed that I am a former contractor. I employed drivers like you, however I provided a reasonable wage by keeping fixed and variable costs down.Also all drivers keep in mind that this guy failed miserably and now wants to try to screw everyone else that actually is ok or successful contracting with ground just because he couldn’t hack it. If you respect you contractor and are getting paid don’t try to threaten them, that goes for any employee/boss situation. Respectfully ask for a raise and if you are worth it you’ll get one. It won’t go the way you want threatening. *since we are adding disclaimers:
This comes from a successful multi business owner.
Only one time did I have that scenario pop up and I respectfully let them know if they really wanted to have that conversation that they could get out of my tuck now. He ended up being one of my best drivers and after changing his attitude and work ethic was one of my highest paid employees.
Respectfully ask for a raise and if you are worth it you’ll get one.
Use your leverage, request a raise right before peak, if they dont give it, go to next contractor that will.
While everyone including myself commends you to the highest level for your production and your reliability the fact of the matter is Orion that the investor class you work for is making an absolute killing off of you and what will you have in the end?Peak is over. But you can always do what GT said above anytime.
Don't demand things until you've proven your worth it. If they're too blind to see your value, Then move on to the next subcontractor who seen your work ethic and track record and ask if there's room in his or her company.
They will always be too blind to give you a livable wage. If you come to work and never know what time you will be done, working 50-60 hours a week. If you dont have benefits. If you dont earn overtime. If your boss keeps deducting money from you. If you dont get paid to load your truck. If you are constantly delaid by your terminal. You have proven your worth if you still work for them.Peak is over. But you can always do what GT said above anytime.

Somehow everyone that works for me currently has been here for a few years already, several over a decade. I must treat them horribly and they have nowhere to go in the current labor market, lulz.Finding my previous post funny Mister IWBF is simply a testament to your own ignorance and an admission on your part that your wages are bottom of the scale and a benefit package is nonexistent.
STFXG said:I will say with that amount of dedication I’d salary you at $700 per week.
My subcontractor group was compensating me over $1000 - 1300 a week... because I exceeded my 90 stop threshold for this rural route daily
Sure..family don't count.Somehow everyone that works for me currently has been here for a few years already, several over a decade. I must treat them horribly and they have nowhere to go in the current labor market, lulz.
Two weeks now.off your meds tonight?
My family is well educated, wouldn’t be caught dead doing this nonsense. I’m the black sheep.Sure..family don't count.
